Titus 2:11-14

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,

who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

Surrounded by blessings.

Isaiah 1:18 "Come now, and let us reason together, Says the Lord," Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

I woke up to a beautiful dusting of white. Thankful because Sarah had prayed for the snow to stick. I love that not only can she see the Lord at work but that she knows that He is in control of everything, even snow. So thankful that our Lord is in control, and that because of Jesus we can be white as snow. The blessings keep coming.....

So in this blanket of snow I see evidence that not only does the Lord of all creation love us so much to give us eternity, He has given blessings here as well, He gave me a wonderful husband. I am reminded of this as I see Peter's foot step in the snow as he went to work at 4:00 am. and the beautiful deck that he build for us. Truly he loves us...






And more... Peter left us with a very warm house, a fire going, and lots of fire wood (that he chopped this summer) for us in the beautiful fire place he built. Truly Peter takes care of us.. Thank you Lord that you are in control and that you have saved us from the wrath due us because of our sin... and that you would give me such a wonderful husband and for the kids to have such a great Daddy. Pancho Blessings!

Who says you have to dress for the weather?

Judah Says "
NO PICTURES PLEASE!"




































Sarah picked out Judah's "pajamas" last night for after bath time. It was snowing out side at the time... hehehe

Feb. Sunny Day!

Today we went outside to walk in the sun and it was very cold but nice to not have a wet ground. We are looking into cutting a lot of the trees that are in the pictures here down. The picture of the girls coloring together was great not only because they are coloring together but because one is left handed and one is right so they can color so close to each other. Judah was very wild tonight and claimed up into the pantry! He is acting like a two year old with his running and silliness. What a delight they are those wild kids! :-)

The Little Things..

I am blessed by the little things of each day. Yesterday Judah was so happy to play with the "ball" (balloon) from a friends birthday party and his 7th tooth has started it's way in and he can walk so fast. As Sarah said this AM " Judah doesn't really craw anymore... I guess he must be getting bigger." Also the girls have the fun moments with Papa playing "Rock Paper Scissors" they played for so long! looks like Papa has a hard time making paper.. they stopped when Leah started using a gun! and one last thing from yesterday.. Peter came home with milk and bread and that is always good. but he has taught the girls the best way to eat a chocolate bar too. What a wonderful blessing all the little things are.

Blessed by Home School

Not all that many years ago I would have never thought I would have three wonderful children. I for sure would never think that I would be homeschooling. What a wonderful challenge and blessing it is. Thankfully the kids are very smart! The Lord has provided for us so that I may stay home with them. I worked for Sarah's first 4 years and Leah's first 2 years. All in the family had to sacrifice for this big change from two incomes to one. Peter works hard to take care of us and we know that it is because with God all things are possible!

Valentine's Day

Peter had to work late on this Valentine's Day. I am thankful for him working hard and being such a wonderful provider for our family. The Lord has blessed us this year with so much. In the hard times we have grown closer to the Lord and in the good given Him the glory. May we make everyday a special day to love one another as Christ has loved us, with a sacrificial love, serving each other to God's glory... praying this will be my heart. Thank you Lord for my wonderful husband!!
